Prayer Uelese
Tikipunga
Summary
Talofa, I am Prayer, 24 years of age, and I am of Tuvalu/Samoa descent. Experienced in mentoring youth within Pasifika communities, and being involved in a church group, creating a safe space of support for our youth. In my spare time, I am a beginner photographer, take small jobs within my community, and occasionally teach traditional dance and music. I enjoy family time, volleyball, and baking. My Christian faith has kept me grounded, and my fiancé, family, and friends. One of my life goals is to always have an attitude of gratitude and heart of gratefulness.
